Helen raised two boys, her son and his best friend. Both are now in their thirties and unmarried. After losing her husband last year, Helen decides it’s time for the two of them to get married. She wants grandbabies. For her son, she starts Project Jake’s Bride and creates a list of potential partners.
Jake’s horrified when one of the potential candidates spills the details of his mother’s plan. Jake’s been holding back on relationships because he’s terrified of becoming like this father--someone who cheated. Helen knows her son would never do that, but the idea is preventing him from sharing himself with someone special.
For Dylan, Helen’s adopted son, she finagles to have him named Snow King, a tradition the town is revitalizing. Dylan’s Snow Queen, Ryder, is new to town, but she’s trying to become part of the community. It isn’t easy for Ryder to trust people, but Dylan makes her comfortable. Before too long, they’re both falling for each other.
Will Helen get what she wants for Christmas--two happy couples on their way to marriage?
HOME SWEET CHRISTMAS is the second novel in the Wishing Tree series by Susan Mallery. It starts off with a bang and doesn’t let up. It’s funny, sweet, and heartwarming. Each couple has emotional baggage they need to work through. Add in one tiny dog with a big personality, twin sisters, great friends, and small town charm for a great read. I can’t wait to return to this charming Christmas town. If you’re a Christmas Hallmark movie lover, don’t miss out on this one.
With twinkling humor and heartfelt Christmas spirit, two friends find love in a town called Wishing Tree…
Until Camryn Neff can return to her “real” life in Chicago, she’s in Wishing Tree to care for her twin sisters. She’s not looking for forever love, not here. But handsome hotelier Jake Crane is a temptation she can’t resist, so she suggests they pair up for the season. No golden rings, no broken hearts. At his side, she sees her hometown through Christmas-colored eyes. The cheer is cheerier, the joy more joyful. She thought she had put her future on hold…but maybe her real life was here all along, waiting for her to come home.
New in town, River Best is charmed by Wishing Tree’s homespun traditions and warmhearted people. When she’s crowned Snow Queen, she’s honored but wary. Dylan Tucker, her king, seems like the stuff of sugarplum dreams, but she can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something big. As they perform their “royal” duties—tasting cookies, lighting trees—Dylan’s good humor and melty kisses draw her to the brink of love. But she can’t let herself fall until she uncovers his secret, even if her lack of faith means losing him forever.
